Think about cooking your roast to the correct temperature rather than getting caught up with how much time it spends in the oven. Some general guidelines for roasting times are: at 425 degrees F, a 2- to 3-lb. whole filet mignon will be done in 35 to 40 minutes and a 4- to 6-lb. cut will take 45 to 60 minutes. Use temperature as your precise guide for doneness and remove the roast from the oven when it is 5 degrees below the final temperature.
To cook filet mignon on a charcoal grill, cook the meat uncovered using medium coals, turn once while grilling, wrap in foil after transferring to a plate, and serve after five minutes. When cooking a 1-inch cut, grill for 10 to 12 minutes to achieve a medium-rare steak and 12 to 15 minutes to achieve medium-done meat.
